Really made the back rest and sissy bar pop. I had seen reviews where the mounting holes did not line up with the back rest. Mine lined up perfectly. Workmanship is great. Made from thick sturdy material that will stand up to use and the weather. Only con would be that there are only 2 designs for the smaller 11 inch sissy bar/ backrest combo. I really liked the skull and flag insert but not available for 11 inch bar. I would buy this product again for the next bike

Really made a difference in the looks of the backrest. I had read in another review that the screw holes did not line up with the backrest pad and sissy bar but this one lined up perfectly

Great product!!! The quality is amazing and worth the price. Super easy install for my Cobra 11"in chrome detachable mini sissy bar on my 2014 HD Street Bob. Fast free shipping was icing on the cake😎
